Not to Hijack, The only thing done to the engine is 2.5" exhaust from the turbo back. Hopefully it will see a better intake in the future. I have talked to lots of people about this engine and normally anything other than intake and exhaust mods end up shortening the life of the engine. PM me...- Sledgehammer

I'm sure your overwhelming success was due to this :D and a lot of skinny pedal.- Sledgehammer

I have always been a Ford guy and my 351M starts and runs great with 15K on the ticker but even a low mile original engine is a gutless wonder.- Sledgehammer

Revised junkyard cowl intake.
Looks like a nice setup. Can't complain on the price either. ;Sweet- Sledgehammer

You should be able to put a 6.9 or 7.3 in it fairly easily size wise. All depends on what you are after for a final use I suppose.- Sledgehammer

I know the T19 in my Scout is like that. I've had NP435's, T18's, and SM420's in other vehicles and it was no problem just as you described. The wide range in the T19 is killer between 2nd and 3rd. I've never had a close ratio T19 to know if it was any better or not?- Sledgehammer

how difficult is it to replace 4x4 front wheel bearings
In a pinch you can use a chisel to loosen that big nut but a socket is far better. Don't go buy a socket that big. They make special spindle nut sockets out of lighter material that are much cheaper to purchase. There is a torque spec for putting the spindle nut back on but a lot of them...- Sledgehammer

Nissan SD33 Diesel in a 2WD Jeep Cherokee?
They made a 4cyl version of the SD33 (SD22 I think). I think they were put in a limited number of foreign made mini trucks. The only one I have ever seen was shoe horned into a lawn mower. It would make that thing scream but sizes were very different obviously. Weight wise, the SD33 was...- Sledgehammer

brain pickin' time
If the threads on the U-bolts are galded when you try to take the nuts off you can use a saw-zall to cut the u-bolts also. The safest way to do that would be to have the piece flipped over as the others have mentioned.- Sledgehammer

Nissan SD33 Diesel in a 2WD Jeep Cherokee?
My scout weighs 5K as it sits. Last I heard rebuild price on an SD33 was about $4000. Parts are hard to find and pricey. I think a person could have a mildly built 4BT for that kind of $.- Sledgehammer
